>From what I have seen, Tesco do not have a view on metrication other than how to make as much profit as possible while keeping the law off their backs.
They recently had a bad press in the United Kingdom when the Trading Standards Office charged them with about a dozen dubious practices. Later they were in contempt of court by refusing to honour a £5,000 (I think) lawsuit that they lost in the Small Claims Court. The plaintiff called in the bailiffs who marched into one of their stores on a Saturday morning and roped of the liquor section until they paid. (Head Office was closed so they lost a weekends' worth of profits from that section). -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Scott Hudnall Sent: 07 August 2007 17:35 To: U.S. Metric Association Subject: [USMA:39244] Tesco to enter US grocery market Anyone know what Tesco's stance in metrication is? I heard a piece on NPR this morning about Tesco planning to open 20 stores in California, Arizona, and Nevada this year - then expand nationwide. Anyone care to speculate on how the presence of a European grocery chain in the US may affect FMI's opposition to ammending the FPLA?
